0040 Jam
"What, can't you eat this?" Xu Yi muttered in his heart, seeing that this person doesn't talk and act like that kind of vain person, besides, he is really not that kind of kind person, and he won't stop himself at all.
"Hehe, Doctor Xu, don't get me wrong, I want to eat it when I see you, and I said it wrong when I was in a hurry. There's nothing wrong with this strawberry, but you can't eat it if you don't wash it. Li Erzhuang rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
"I said, it scared me, so why can't you eat this?"
"Some people say that they are picking strawberries in the field and have diarrhea after eating, so they call us and say that we are a liar, using pesticides or something, and asking us to compensate for medical expenses or something. Li Erzhuang lifted the basket on the ground, walked back towards the end that came before, and then said: "We also feel wronged, this is obviously useless, how can we eat bad people, and then I asked the experts of the agricultural technology station to know that this strawberry looks beautiful, but after all, the sugar content is too high, it is easy to be contaminated with bacteria or something, this strawberry must be washed before it can be eaten again." ”
"So that's the case, I still think it's okay if I don't wash the persimmons and cucumbers in this house, why can't I eat this, this is really a long knowledge." Xu Yi also felt embarrassed, this is really treating kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs.
A few people returned to the edge of the greenhouse, and Li Erzhuang said: "Put on your clothes and go out again, this looks hot, after all, it's not May Day, wait for the next day to go out, sweat and be blown by the wind to catch a cold." ”
Carrying the basket out, several people went directly back to the villa, put the basket on the table, and the four baskets full of strawberries were placed on the table, which were crystal red and bright, fresh and tender, and looked very beautiful.
"Although strawberries are delicious, but after all, this thing can't eat too much at one time, this person has so many dozen or twenty at a time is enough to eat, pick so much, how can you finish eating, or do you want to find a way to solve some of them?"
"Hehe, I also know that you can't eat too much of this thing at a time, don't worry, I've already thought about it for you, if you want to pick enough food, we can't eat it all in such a basket. Seeing Lin Zhengtian frowning, Li Erzhuang smiled honestly and said the reason, "Deliberately pick so much, and clean it out after a while, we still want to squeeze the juice and leave a basket, and let's wait for a while to do it together, and make it all into strawberry jam." ”
"We make our own guarantee that it does not contain preservatives, and the disinfection is thorough, even if we don't put preservatives, we don't put it in the refrigerator, as long as we don't put it in the sun, if it is not opened, there is no problem at all for half a year. Whether you take it back and spread it on steamed buns and bread, or like to make your own dim sum and mix salad, it is absolutely delicious. ”
"It won't be very troublesome to make jam, and besides, there are a lot of strawberry jams sold in this market, and the price is not expensive?" Xu Yi asked.
"It's not a hassle at all, just wait for us to finish, you just need to get strawberries or something in the market, and you can make this yourself." This is also a great pleasure of picking strawberries here in our house, there is no such treatment in other places, you have to make your own at home if you want to eat, this thing may not be prepared as complete as we here, if the disinfection is not thorough, maybe it will be broken when it will be broken. Li Erzhuang said with a smile. "There are so many strawberry jams on the market, but do you know what's in them? My son bought a bottle of tomato sauce that year, and my son said it was ketchup with spices. He opened it and ate it twice, but he forgot to tighten the cap and put it there, and guess what?"
After a few seconds, Li Erzhuang revealed the mystery: "I saw a bottle last year that had been there for four or five years, and a layer of dust fell on the outside, and I didn't know what it was. Look at the color inside, that thing is the same as when I bought it, red and bright, there is no change at all, how many preservatives do you have to put here, it won't be bad for several years with the lid open!"
"You said that if you eat too much of that thing, you might get some kind of disease, and since then, I won't let my son buy these things casually. ”
"Yes, that's a coincidence, I just saw on the Internet that a foreigner put a hamburger in a brown paper bag, and it didn't break for more than ten years. Wu Jinmin also said.
"In this year, there is no shortage of anything, but it is much stronger than in the early years. In those days, everyone was poor, they had no money, and they couldn't buy any good things, but all these years it was the other way around, as long as you had money, you could buy anything, but you didn't dare to buy anything. Lin Zhengtian was full of emotion.
Li Erzhuang turned around and went into the kitchen, and after a while, he took out a big stainless steel bucket with handles on both sides and a lid on the ground, and reached out to open the lid.
Xu Yi glanced inside and found that it was like an unlayered steamer, and there was a curtain with many round holes near the bottom of the steel barrel, which divided the barrel into upper and lower sections.
"Uncle Li, what is this for, you have to use this thing to steam this strawberry jam?"
"No, this is used to steam strawberry jam bottles, I am in the city bottle factory custom heat-resistant glass made of special strawberry jam glass jars, with chlorine dioxide disinfectant directly to wash the jar, and then with clean hot water to wash the disinfectant, we do not have an autoclave, just use the soil method instead, directly use this stuffy jar directly stuffy and then steam the bottle and lid with this, and then put the strawberry jam into the glass jar that has not completely cooled down when it is hot, and then tighten the lid, so that there is no need to put preservatives, but also to ensure that it will not deteriorate, just the same problem, the opened bottle can only be placed in the refrigerator, and it can't be stored for a long time. ”
"I washed this yesterday, and when I washed the strawberries into this, I will clean the water and then make strawberry jam. I'll go and get a few more household goods to decorate with light salt water, and the strawberries I picked are soaked in salt water for a while and then cleared before eating, after all, the disease comes from the mouth, hehe, I haven't drunk alcohol since last year. Li Erzhuang smiled.
"Can't you wash this with water a few more times?"
"When do you have to wash so many strawberries, and the temperature in the greenhouse of this strawberry is so high, it is easy to give birth to some small insects, which can also soak the invisible insects and eggs, which can be washed more cleanly. Li Erzhuang patiently explained to Xu Yi, "You don't need to add more salt, add two tablespoons of salt to such a big basin, soak it for more than ten or twenty points, and then clean it." ”
A few people did it, after all, the strawberries were very fresh, and they didn't pick out a few rotten ones, and a few people didn't like to drink juice, so they used a small stainless steel basin to fill a pot, and the rest took off the fruit pedicle at the back, and then carefully put it into the steel bucket, looking at everything was almost done, Li Erzhuang turned around and went out, and when he came back, he wore a pair of thick gloves on both hands, and came back with a stainless steel bucket that was the same as the one on the ground.
"Don't move, this is hot, be careful of scalding. Seeing that Xu Yi was going to come over to help, Li Erzhuang hurriedly stopped it, brought it to the kitchen, and sat on the gas stove, Li Erzhuang took off his gloves, turned on the gas stove and burned it, and let out a deep sigh.
"Uncle Li, what is this?" Xu Yi looked at this and seemed to be quite heavy, and asked curiously.
"My daughter-in-law came back and steamed this on the inside, and there was a glass jar and a lid inside. Li Erzhuang said, "This is not a pressure cooker after all, and the cooking time has to be a little longer, so that the disinfection can be more thorough." ”
"Okay, I'll take care of the rest, hehe, I can't cook, but if you make this jam, I'm half a professional, Nurse Wang, you can help me start." ”
"Good. Wang Jing didn't squirm, "What does Brother Li want me to do?"
"There's lemons in the drawer under the cutting board, you wash two of them for me, then cut them horizontally and clean all the seeds inside. ”
"Brother Lin, Officer Wu and Doctor Xiao Xu, there are disposable gloves here, you wear them, and the strawberries that control the clean water are all loaded in those clean stainless steel basins, I have white sugar here, this strawberry is not so sweet after all, you still have to add some sugar, add or subtract it according to the taste, generally like our stainless steel basin, if you reach the sweetness of the supermarket, you have to add a bag of sugar, and then mix it evenly." Li Erzhuang said, took out a large blender from the cupboard, cleaned it, took it to the table outside, plugged it into the socket, and then took a pair of gloves from the bag, took the basin in Xu Yi's hand, and poured the sugar and strawberries into the blender.
"Nurse Wang, bring me half a lemon and cut it into small pieces, just cut it a few times, and then use a blender to beat it." Li Erzhuang said to Wang Jing.
Waiting for Wang Jing to put the diced lemons into the blender, Li Erzhuang covered the lid of the blender, pressed the switch, and directly beat the strawberries and lemons into puree and poured them back into the empty basin in Xu Yi's hand.
"Don't worry, that's it, let it be left for a while, let the strawberries ooze some water to cook again, if you cook it directly, it will be easy to paste the pot." Seeing that Xu Yi was waiting for the next instruction, Li Erzhuang said with a smile.
"Let's go, all with their own basins, let's cook in the pot." After waiting for a few minutes, Li Erzhuang took a basin and went directly into the kitchen.
"Uncle Li, you only get so many stoves just to make strawberry jam, and this year is only two months, isn't that a waste?" The first time he entered this kitchen, Xu Yi found that this kitchen was too spacious, and it was even more spacious, at least eight or nine gas stoves!
